Vlórë is the official name of the city known as Avalon. Home to the Duke of the North, Avalon sits atop a high ridge, overlooking the edge of the vast and foreboding Wolfswood to the north. At the southern slope of the ridge flows the South Branch of the River Titus, supposedly named after one of the ancient kings of men who first ventured into the Northern Holds.
As the capitol of the North, Avalon is less of a frontier town than many of the other cities this far up the continent, and indeed follows some of the most rigid caste-structures anywhere outside of Volant itself.
Avalon is, in addition to being a political and religious epicenter, the largest source of raw metals, lumber, and precious gems in the Reign. The forests around the city, particularly the Wolfswood, provide ample fuel for the factory-fires of Dunmore to the East.
